Cleaning The Appliance - SYNQ SMX.3 Manual De Instrucciones

ENGLISH
 Inexperienced persons should not operate this device.
 Maximum save ambient temperature is 40°C. Don't use this unit at higher ambient
temperatures.
 Minimum distances around the apparatus for sufficient ventilation is 3cm.
 Always unplug the unit when it is not used for a longer time or before you start servicing.
 The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only, according to
the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
 Check that the available voltage is not higher than the one stated on the rear panel of the
unit.
 The socket inlet shall remain operable for disconnection from the mains.
 The power cord should always be in perfect condition. Switch the unit immediately off
when the power cord is squashed or damaged. It must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
 Never let the power-cord come into contact with other cables!
 When the power switch is in OFF position, this unit is not completely disconnected from
the mains!
 In order to prevent electric shock, do not open the cover. Apart from the mains fuse there
are no user serviceable parts inside.
 Never repair a fuse or bypass the fuse holder. Always replace a damaged fuse with a
fuse of the same type and electrical specifications!
 In the event of serious operating problems, stop using the appliance and contact your
dealer immediately.
 Please use the original packing when the device is to be transported.
 Due to safety reasons it is prohibited to make unauthorized modifications to the unit.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:
 Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not be exposed to high
temperatures or humidity.
 Placing and using the unit for long periods near heat-generating sources such as
amplifiers, spotlights, etc. will affect its performance and may even damage the unit.
 With optional 19" adapters (see further in this user manual), this unit can be mounted in
19-inch racks. Attach the unit using the 4 screw holes on the front panel. Be sure to use
screws of the appropriate size. (screws not provided) Take care to minimize shocks and
vibrations during transport.
 When installed in a booth or flight case, please make sure to have good ventilation to
improve heat evacuation of the unit.
 To avoid condensation to be formed inside, allow the unit to adapt to the surrounding
temperatures when bringing it into a warm room after transport. Condense sometimes
prevents the unit from working at full performance.

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE:

Clean by wiping with a polished cloth slightly dipped with water. Avoid getting water inside
the unit. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which will damage the unit.

CONNECTIONS
Except for microphones, headphone and master outputs, all connections are cinch. Use
good quality cinch-cinch cables to prevent bad audio quality.
Be sure to turn off the mixer before you make changes to the different connections.
In this manual we talk about "line inputs". This is a global name for inputs with a level
between 750mV and 2V. This includes tuners, videos, CD-players, etc.
There are many ways to connect audio equipment to this mixer. Just keep the following
remarks in mind:
 Always connect cinch cables in the same way:
o white or black cinch connector  left channel
o red cinch connector  right channel
 3 Inputs on the back panel have the possibility to receive a phono or line input. Make
sure to assign the associated switch correctly:
o When you connect a CD-player, Cassette deck, MD-player, tuner, video
recorder etc. don't forget to put the associated switch to "LINE".
o When you connect a turntable don't forget to put the associated switch to
"PHONO".
Remark: When you connect the SynQ "X-TRM1" turntable, we suggest to put the
turntable in line output. Of course this means you must connect it to a line input on the
mixer!
 Many Turntables have a GND-connection. It is preferable to connect this signal ground
to the SMX-3. Use the GND-connections, close to the signal input connectors.
 The record input of an analog recording device can be connected to the record output of
the SMX-3 to make analog recordings.
 To ensure the best possible sound quality, short-circuit pins are installed on all unused
phono inputs. When connecting a turntable to the SMX-3, first remove the short-circuit
pins of the input you want to use. Keep these short-circuit pins in a safe place for
eventual later use. NEVER put these short-circuit pins on the outputs (Masters,
send, record, ...)
